The giant theropod Spinosaurus was an unusual animal and highly derived in many ways,
and interpretations of its ecology remain controversial. Recent papers have added …

A predominantly fish-eating diet was envisioned for the sail-backed theropod dinosaur
Spinosaurus aegyptiacus when its elongate jaws with subconical teeth were unearthed a …

The Spinosauridae is a specialized group of theropod dinosaurs characterised by a long,
narrow skull, robust forelimbs with a hooked thumb claw, and tall neural spines forming a …

A recent interpretation of the fossil remains of the enigmatic, large predatory dinosaur
Spinosaurus aegyptiacus proposed that it was specially adapted for a semi-aquatic mode of …

In a recent paper, the contention that spinosaurine theropods were semi-aquatic was
supported by Arden et al.,(2019) and they provided a hypothetical sequence of acquisition of …

Spinosaurus aegyptiacus was probably the largest predatory dinosaur of the Cretaceous
period. A new study shows that it was a semiaquatic hunter. The function of Spinosaurus' …

Spinosaurid theropod dinosaurs appear to represent convergent morphological evolution
toward a croc-odylian-like cranial morphology, previously linked to the possibility that …

Secondary aquatic adaptations evolved independently more than 30 times from terrestrial
vertebrate ancestors,. For decades, non-avian dinosaurs were believed to be an exception …

The concept of convergence, that is, how unrelated animals independently evolve similar
morphological traits, is a fundamental aspect of evolution. Hitherto, the Mesozoic …

Spinosauridae, a theropod group characterized by elongated snouts, conical teeth, enlarged
forelimbs, and often elongated neural spines, show evidence for semiaquatic adaptations …
